Promoting Efficiency through Centralisation and Professionalisation

This review examines the ongoing public procurement reforms in Nuevo León, Mexico:
both the progress achieved so far and the many challenges that remain. It discusses
the benefits of further centralisation of public procurement activities for goods
and services, greater aggregation, and a shift in administrative culture from excessive
formality toward strategic public procurement and value for money. The review provides
concrete proposals addressing every aspect of the procurement lifecycle, from planning
and market consultations to contract management.
